Executing a calc script in MAXL

"Heaven to murgatroid" this has completely defeated me today so all help will be gratefully accepted.
I have an Essbase application (NPG3BK) with 4 databases (BMR, Detail, Main & Workforce) - 3 are Planning Types and a fourth is added for reporting.
I have 1 Essbase Calc script at application level - the calc script is called ExBinAll. It verifies perfectly and I can run it manually against any of the databases.
I have a MAXL script to run the calculation against each of the databases under NPG3BK. The relevant piece of code is...
alter system load application 'NPG3BK';
execute calculation NPG3BK.'ExBinAll.csc' on database BMR;
However when the batch runs I get this message...
ERROR - 1012500 - The requested calc script [ExBinAll.csc] not found.
Environment: Win2008 R2
Essbase: 11.1.2.1.600
Logged on to Win2008 with a server administrator ID.
Logged into Essbase/MAXL with an Hyperion administrator ID.
I have checked the application name and calc script name SO many times through EAS and Windows Explorer. It's there!!
Can anyone out there resolve this for me?
Many thanks for your help

Celvin, many thanks - unfortunately that didn't work either..
I've tried..
execute calculation 'NPG3BK'.'ExBinAll' on database BMR;
execute calculation 'NPG3BK'.'ExBinAll' on database 'BMR';
execute calculation 'NPG3BK'.'ExBinAll.csc' on database BMR;
execute calculation 'NPG3BK'.'ExBinAll.csc' on database 'BMR'; and ALL got the same error code 1012500
So I decided to try store the calcscript ExBinAll under the database NPG3BK.BMR and run it with the following syntax ..
execute calculation NPG3BK.BMR.'ExBinAll.csc'; gives      ERROR - 1012864 - Calculation script name [ExBinAll.csc] is longer than [8] characters.
execute calculation NPG3BK.BMR.'ExBinAll'; gives      the original (1012500) error.
execute calculation 'NPG3BK'.'BMR'.'TEST.csc'; gives      the original (1012500) error. {ERROR - 1012500 - The requested calc script [TEST] not found.}
Any other ideas from anyone?

Essbase error 1033, executing a calc script through HAL

A daily HAL job executes a calc script that returned a 1033 error.
Any ideas? Essbase 7.1.6, HAL 7.3 build 327
"error code - 1033: Essbase Error, <full path with calc script name> at ...."

Sorry, no answer yet.
Our job that failed which runs about 6 times daily successfully ran on the next scheduled run with zero changes. Some sort of hiccup (unexplainable).

Execute Essbase Calc Scripts from FDM

Execute Calc script in Maxl with compained all script

Hi,
I have nearly 20 Calc script in one of the application. I need to run all the script once I change the calc script.
Execute calculation default 'databasename.application-name' ;
Is there any command in MaxL directly use to run all the calc script?
Kindly let me know.

I'm not sure why anyone would want to run 20 scripts. If I wanted to do that I would combine them into one or two. If your heart is set on running ALL the scripts in your database, You could do something like create a generic MaxL script like:
Execute calculation sample.basic.$1
then in your batch script have a statement that selects all of the files that end in .csc for the directory and pass them to the script essmsh mymaxl.mxl Filename
I'll assume either the scripts are named in the order you want them to run or you could rename them with a numberic to indicate the run order.

Error executing essbase report script using maxl

Hi,
V 11.1.2.1 (64 bit) on windows
An essbase report script errors when it is run from maxl. When I run it directly in maxl the error is
Error - 1030205 - Client directory does not exisit: ...EssbaserServer\<instance>\client
When I run it within EAS the error is
Client directory does not exisit: EPMSystem11R1/common/EssbaseRTC-64/11.1.2.0client
Unexpected essbase error 1030205
The client is installed but the folder locations do not exist. There is a calc script which does a data export which works fine. The essbase report can be manually executed without a problem. This worked fine in 9.3.1.
Here is the script (without actual names)
export database 'app'.'database' using report_file 'AReport' to data_file 'c:\\Output.txt';
I would appreciate any help. I have looked at the knowledge base and can't find anything relevant.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan
I would appreciate

Hi,
The issue is now resolved.
The client folder must be created where the EAS service is, not Essbase. Once this was done the report script could not be found. In discussion over the phone with Oracle we did some testing, as they use a non distributed environment. If you use 'using report file' you need to specify the path to the report file i.e.
D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem\EssbaseServer\<instance>\app\<app name>\<database>\report.rep'
The .rep must also be included.
If you use 'using server report file' you only need to specify the report name, without the extension, and the data file path. You specify the path as normal i.e. D:\nathan.txt but you can get away with simply a file name such as 'nathan.txt'. In a distributed environment this exports to the server where the EAS service is to
<drive>:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem
When Oracle support did this it went to the Essbase bin folder as it was a non distributable environment.
The subtle differences between 9.3.1 and 11.1.2.1......
Thanks to all those who contributed.

Maxl doesn't logout after Calc Script execution

Hi All,
I have a batch script which runs to load data and then aggregate data using calc script. Maxl completes the load and then starts the calculation execution but this never ends. I tried looking into the logs and it shows that Calc Script executed but it won't log off the user and so the next process of the batch doesn't kick-in.
Application Logs:
Thu~May~20~12:40:36~2009~Local~****~****~hadmin~Info~(1012579)~Total Calc Elapsed Time for ~Agg.csc~ : ~1008.66~ seconds

Thu~May~20~12:40:36~2009~Local~****~****~hadmin~Info~(1019018)~Writing Parameters For Database ~[****]
Can anyone suggest me how to resolve the issue. Thanks...

Hi Cameron,
The script which you had given was running just great in Dev with very less data, as the aggregation was just taking 10mins but when I moved the scripts to QA where it loads data from Prod, the aggregation takes almost 2 hours to run and just as the calc script finishes it throws an Network error and Maxl doesn't end the agg script and hangs there and is forced to log off from console after 60mins of inactivity. The hang doesn't let the batch to start the next process.
Network error for app logs:

Can you suggest me how to run multiple calc scripts using singel maxl script

Hello,
I am writing a maxl script which should be able to :
1. update Set Variables for the Essbase DB
2. Execute multiple calc scripts
2a. Trying to put specific sleep time within multiple calc scripts.
Thanks and Regards.

Why are you looking for a Maxl to run multiple maxls? Can't you use a batch or sh script to do it.
Unix has a sleep command in batch file try using choice

Why does the calc script screen freezes after executing the script

Hello Everyone:
When a calc script gets executed, the calc Script in the ASS freezes even though the calc script has finished it´s execution. Does anybody knows why? How can i prevent these to happen?
Hope someone could help me, thanks in advanced
Best Regards

if you execute the calc script in foreground, console will freezes and it will not allow any thing to do.
Once script is completed, console will be freed.
You can execute the calc script in back ground so that you can continue your work and you can track the progress in the sessions.

How to make a calc script on a dense dimension ?

Dears,
I want to make a calculation script on a dense dimension where :
- I want to get an input from a member, then make a mathematical calculation , then populate the result in another member at the same dimension .
For More Clarification :
I have the following fix
CALC ALL ;
FIX ("SAR","Working.V01","Budget2012","FY12","G_10","NM_CAT01","Employee General","BegBalance")
"Internal Transportation" = "Monthly Transportation"*30 ;
ENDFIX
-Internal transportation and monthly transportation are 2 members on FB_account dimension (dense dimension) .
Waiting for your response, Thanks in advance.

Dear ,
I appreciate your feedback . But, My problem is that after executing the calc script , No calculation happens .
by another means ,
-If I wrote "Internal transportation" = 500 ; --> It put 500 in it
-If I wrote "Internal transportation" = "Internal transportation" * 100 ; --> No calculation happened but it executed successfully
-if I wrote "Internal transportation" = "Monthly transportation" = 500; --> No calculation happened but it executed successfully
I don't know Why ???

Smartview VBA function for launch calc-scripts as strings. like EsbCalc ???

We have used an Excel VBA which launch an calculation script from a STRING using the VBA Add-In function "EsbCalc".
We would like to migrate to Smartview VBA functions.....
The calc-script string has "parameters" which are modified at run-time...
I have found the function HypExecuteCalcScript - but seems that use as parameters ONLY the calc-script name...
Is it any VBA function in SmartView which launch a calc-script string (not a calc-script name) ?
We are using EPM 11.2
Thanks...

A tip I just learned at Kaleidoscope 2010* is that one can create a calc script consisting entirely of a substitution variable. In other words, a calc script can look like this:
&Calc
Smart View VBA does have a function for changing or creating substitution variables (HypSetSubstitutionVariable). You could create a calc script and subvar in your database as above. Then, at run time, set that subvar to your calc string with HypSetSubstitutionVariable and execute the calc script with HypExecuteCalcScript.
Quick test (11.1.1.3) shows that this really works.
I can't remember privileges required to create or set subvars vs execute calc strings off the top of my head - might be an issue (I ran as an admin). Also this approach doesn't support concurrent users, unless they each have a calc script and subvar to themselves. Still, depending on your exact situation, this might be a feasible workaround.
*I won't credit the presenter solely because the tip came from a presentation which he specifically declined to make public domain.

Unable to execute the substitution variable in calc scripts in essbase 11.1

Unable to execute the substitution variable in calc scripts in essbase 11.1.3

ENDFIX
Error: 1200471 Error parsing formula for FIX STATEMENT (line 1): expression expected before [)]
This is error it throws when executing the calculation script
I wonder whether its a problem with substitution variable i want to know wat went wrong inside the fix statement
I have created substitution variable use maxl
Installed the essbase in custom manner and standlone mode nt register with the shared services ,
Is this problem with the custom installation of essbase
Regards
shenna

If you remove the substitution variable and replace it with the actual value (whatever that is), does the code work? That will tell you if the issue is around the substitution variable or not.

To View Calc Scripts and Report scripts via MaxL or Esscmd

Hi all,
Can somebody tell how to read any calc script or report script in any database with the help of MaxL or Esscmd?
For example if there is any .csc or .rep file, I want to read the context of the file i.e. the script that is written in the file. Is it possible via MaxL or Esscmd?
Does Hyperion supports this functionality?
Regards,
James

You know that calc and report scripts are text files, right?
They are typically stored in the database directory, although that is not a requirement; they can be stored in other client-accessible directories and run from there.
I haven't done it in ages, but is also possible to pass calc and report scripts to Essbase via the API. I can't remember if the API will let you enumerate calc scripts from the database directory. I sort of strongly think yes. Someone who is more knowledgeable will either correct or refute that statement pretty soon. :)
If you want to list the objects (calcs or reports): http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/techref.htm
A few things that you can do with MaxL re calc scripts:
1) execute calculations, including a string that you pass through MaxL: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/statements/excalc.htm
2) delete calculations: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/statements/drpcalc.htm
3) list the calcs: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/statements/dispclc.htm
4) create the calc: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/statements/crecalc.htm
Report scripts are sort of a poor relation in MaxL (and were in Esscmd as well). You can basically only run a report as kind of export: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/html_esb_techref/maxl/ddl/statements/exprt.htm
So, I think it's mostly there, especially the display object command. BTW, if MaxL can list it, the API can too -- how else does MaxL work?

Execute Calc Script from another application

Hello Guru's,
i have two applications (Planning and HPCM). Both 11.1.1.3.
I write a calc.script in HPCM (with XREF) that provide me a data from Planning to HPCM. Now i am trying to execute a script in planning. So that a planning user can load the data by clicking a business rule.
Is it possible?
Many thanks,
WhiteBaer

VB is a system wide scripting engine, so you can run it from outside InDesign. You create an InDesign object to address InDesign. This can be done by another application as well.
Javascript is a scripting engine provided soley by InDesign. Unless you have some method of telling InDesign to run the script, it's a non-starter. You can probably create a dll to tell InDesig to run a javascript, but I think a simple VB is WAY simpler...
All you really need to do is write a very short VB and feed the javascript to the VB as a string anc call app.doScript() providing the javascript to the doScript method.

Execute calc script before batch load

Hi
I use FDM ERPI to load data from Oracle EBS R12 into Hyperion Planning 11.1.2
I use batch loader to load several locations.
How could I execute a Essbase calc script before the import process, so before the first load?
Thanks in advance for your help
Fanny

Sorry, but I have searched in this forum.
I have found topics about how to execute calc script after the load, but nothing (at least I have not found) about calc script befort many load via batch loader.
So if someone can give me some clues...
thanks!
Fanny

How do you stop multiple users executing the same calc script at the same time?

We have an issue when users uplaod a spreadsheet and then run a calc script. at one time we have multiple exectuions of the script running.
This slows up the system and we have to go cancel all the executions and run it again.
Can we stop this and put them on a queue, so only one execution of the calc happens at one time. Or stop multiple executions getting submitted at all.

You could use EXCLUSIVECALC to stop more than one calc running at the same time, although this will apply to all applications on your server. And it doesn't just stop the same calc being launched twice. Easier than the alternatives I can think of though, if it works for you.
